My latest book is Rebel Sounds: Music as Resistance. It's a social history of the twentieth century but one that takes in the human impulse to create, share and enjoy the one thing that connects cultures and spans generations: music. It's out in America next week! uk.bookshop.org/p/books/rebe... (2)
